how can I hide my cursor so it doesn't show up at all?
When X starts my cursor is an 'X', but then when it
moves over certain programs it changes to 'I' or an
arrow. I would like to be able to hide it in such a
way that it doesn't show up in any form.
I know 'xsetroot' can do something with curso
thanks for the thought, but commenting out
"option "dpms" doesn't seem to work.
I also tried "option "dpms" "false"", which didn't
work either.
do you know how to hide the X cursor?
i know 'xsetroot' can do some things with cursors, but
I don't know if that would help.

I run presentations on an X server. The pointer, which
isn't connected to anything(I don't have a mouse for
it), sits in the middle of the screen. I have been
able to use 'xsetroot' to make it transparent so it
doesn't show.
But some programs I use will change the pointer to an
arrow when they are
I've downloaded the source to XFree86 4.3.0. Where
would I look for the code that prevents me from moving
the cursor off screen?
Or where, would I look for the code that allows apps
to change the cursor?
It was said earlier that I would have to hack the X
server to make the pointer go away. I'm l
What function (and file) in XFree86 is called when an
app requests to change the cursor?
I've looked through the XFree86 source and can't find
it. I'm hoping that when I do, I can hack it to ignore
the request, thereby preventing my apps from messing
with my cursor.

I'd like to be able to make windows on my screen
translucent. Is XRender the best way to do that?
The main site for XRender at www.eax.com/render,
appears to be down. I don't know if this is still the
main site, but its really the only one that I can find
on google. I can get a cached copy of the

project relate to xfree86?

i've used xvattr to adjust XV_COLORKEY.
I can then of course set XV_COLORKEY to 0 to make any
windows that use libxv to have all their black pixels
made transparent.
But, can I set XV_COLORKEY for an individual window?
If it can't be done now, could libxv be modified to do
it, or would it require

I would like to know how to find out which linux
process created a window (for this, I'm only
interested in local processes, not a networked
environment).
It has been suggested that I use netstat to tell which
sockets belong to a given process.
But, how to I know which window(s) belongs to a give
no, xkill seems to send a destroy or kill event to the
window.
is there a way to find out which socket a window comes
from? (Window ID=> Socket ID)
